BEASTS CLAWING AT STRAWS 15

OUT NOW DIGITAL HD

An appearance by Minari Oscar winner Yuh-Jung Youn is but one reason to catch this Korean heist thriller. Sharing DNA with Tarantino, Ritchie and the Coens, writer/director Kim Yonghoon’s assured debut sees desperate characters’ lives converge thanks to a Louis Vuitton bag full of cash. Get set for a dog-eat-dog race between hapless sauna worker Joong-man (Bae Seong-woo), vengeful escort Mi-ran (Shin Hyun-bin) and shady customs employee Tae-young (Jung Woo-sung). Pulpy, intense and packing some deliciously dark laughs. Musanna Ahmed
